[SML] Tombstone actor shot when live rounds fired during mock gunfight

[Alf Sauve']

Been there.   Wasn't impressed.

There are multiple groups holding "shootouts".  Each claiming to be 
recreations of THE shootout at the OK Corral.   Or they claim they're on 
the original spot.     My impression was the groups were amateurish and 
poorly run.  Imagine, if you will, Disney World, but each venue is 
privately owned and run, with its own set of rules and procedures.

The highlight of our visit was to the Tombstone library building which 
has many artifacts and pictures of the town in its heyday.  I highly 
recommend, if you're interested in real history, to visit the library 
and a couple of the older buildings.   Note thought the town has burned 
down several times so no original buildings remain anyway.
